Josh Gad has said replacing Kristen Bell with Emmy Raver-Lampman, an actor of colour, on animated comedy Central Park was “the only move” to make.
The first three episodes of Central Park season two are streaming on Apple TV+ now, with new episodes premiering weekly every Friday.
Gad, the co-creator of Central Park and voice of narrator Birdie, said producers had no doubts about taking the decision to replace his Frozen co-star Bell.
Bell, who is white, stepped down from the role of voicing Molly, who is mixed-race, last year.
